feat(hint): H2 Phase B — per-form keying + the three exemplars (ADR-0053)

The first exemplar (`add 1:n relationship`) showed per-node keying is
too coarse for multi-form commands, so revise the mechanism to per-form.

- CommandNode `hint_id: Option<&str>` -> `hint_ids: &[&str]` (mirrors
  usage_ids); hint_key_for_input_in_mode reuses a factored-out
  pick_form_key (shared digit/m:n/suffix form disambiguation with
  usage_key_for_input_in_mode)
- wire INSERT + ADD (all four forms) with hint_ids
- author the three approved exemplars: hint.cmd.insert,
  hint.cmd.add_relationship, hint.err.foreign_key.child_side
  (what/example/concept) + keys.rs registration
- revise ADR-0053 D3 to per-form; record clause-concept hints as a
  deferred extension (issue #37); update README + plan
- +5 tests; 2488 pass / 1 ignored, clippy clean

Accepted — implementation in progress. Revised after a `/runda` review
(2026-06-14): corrected the verbosity-default fact; re-keyed tier-3
content on a new `hint_id` (not `help_id`) so every command form — simple
and advanced-SQL — gets distinct, mode-correct content; split the
pre-submit-diagnostic and runtime-error paths; added a comprehensiveness
coverage test. The parallel question of whether the in-app `help` command
should likewise distinguish advanced-SQL forms is tracked **separately**

Phase B implementation (2026-06-15): the first exemplar showed per-*node*
keying is too coarse for multi-form commands (`add`/`drop`/`show`/

(`src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs:512`, parallel to the existing `help_id` /

`hint_ids: &'static [&'static str]`** field on `CommandNode`
(`src/dsl/grammar/mod.rs:512`), **mirroring the existing `usage_ids`**.
The F1 live-input path resolves the current input to its form's hint key
via `hint_key_for_input_in_mode`, which reuses the same form-word
disambiguation as `usage_key_for_input_in_mode`.
**Why a new field, not `help_id`:** `help_id` is **not** 1:1 with
command forms. The 7 advanced-mode SQL nodes (`SELECT`, `WITH`,
`SQL_INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE`, `EXPLAIN_SQL`) carry `help_id: None` *purely
to dedup the `help` command's printed list* (they share an entry word
with a simple sibling — see `grammar/mod.rs:915-918`), not because they
lack distinct content. Their SQL syntax differs from the simple-DSL
sibling's, so they **must get their own tier-3 block**. A dedicated
`hint_id` gives every one of the ~37 REGISTRY nodes — simple and
advanced-SQL alike — its own key and its own mode-correct example, with
no sharing or deferral. (The analogous gap in the `help` command is out
of scope here — issue #36.)
**Why an array mirroring `usage_ids`, not a per-node `hint_id`**
*(`/runda`/implementation revision, 2026-06-15)*: a single per-node key
is too coarse. Several entry words are **one node spanning many forms**
`add` (column/relationship/index/constraint), `drop` (table/column/
relationship/index), `show` (data/table/tables/relationships/indexes),
`create` (table/index). A live-input hint for `add 1:n relationship` is
only useful if it is *specific to relationships*, so the content must be
**per form**, not per node. The project already solved exactly this for
usage templates (`usage_ids` is a per-form array, disambiguated by the
form word), so `hint_ids` mirrors it. Single-form nodes carry one entry;
multi-form nodes carry one per form. This also covers the advanced-SQL
forms whose `usage_ids` are empty (`SQL_INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE`,
`EXPLAIN_SQL`) — they get their own `hint_ids` directly, independent of
usage, with mode-correct SQL examples. (The `help`-list collapse of
advanced-SQL forms is a separate gap — issue #36.)
**Deferred extension — clause-concept hints** (issue #37): per-form is
the right granularity for tier-3 *teaching* (position-awareness within a
form is owned by tier-2 ambient + the live `Next:` line, D4). But some
**concepts live inside a clause**, not a form — `… on delete ⟨cascade|
set null|restrict⟩` (referential actions), the `create table` constraint
slots (`primary`/`unique`/`check`/`foreign`), `with pk`, `1:n`/`m:n`
cardinality. A learner parked in such a clause may want teaching deeper
than tier-2's candidate list but narrower than the whole-form block. v1
does **not** build this (it would multiply content for points whose value
we can't yet measure, and we don't expect to accumulate usage statistics
to drive it empirically — it will be tackled as a deliberate follow-up
job). The keying does not lock it out: a later `hint.concept.<topic>`
namespace can be surfaced when the cursor sits in a recognized clause,
layered on top of the per-form block.

- [ADR-0050 — Incidental-DDL confirmations omit relationship info (structure-only)](0050-incidental-ddl-confirmations-omit-relationships.md) — **Accepted + implemented 2026-06-12 (issue #28)**, closes Gitea **#28**. **Supersedes** the incidental-DDL clause of **ADR-0044 §1** and the relationship-block half of **ADR-0016 §5**. Incidental-DDL confirmation echoes (`create table`, `add`/`drop`/`rename`/`change column`, `add`/`drop index`) now render **structure only** — header + column box + `Indexes:` + constraints — with **no `References:` / `Referenced by:` block** (neither prose nor diagram), even when the table carries relationships the user did not touch. Rationale (owner): a confirmation echo reports the change just made, not untouched relationships; ADR-0044's terse prose was the lesser of "prose vs diagram", but the right answer for these surfaces is **neither**. **Relationship-subject surfaces are unchanged**`show table`, `add`/`drop relationship`, `show relationship` still render ADR-0044 diagrams; relationships appear only when the user asks for (`show table`) or acts on (`add`/`drop relationship`) one, and are one `show table <T>` away — **no information lost**. Forks both user-chosen: **scope = all incidental DDL** (not just `add column` — the rationale is uniform, the mental model clean, and it's the simpler edit) and **delete the prose renderer** (not retain it dormant — no dead code). **Mechanism:** the `handle_dsl_success` `matches!` routing is unchanged (relationship-subject → diagrams; else → `render_structure`); the change is one line inside `render_structure` (`output_render.rs` — drop the relationship-block call) since all its callers are incidental DDL, plus deletion of the orphaned `relationship_prose_lines` + `cols_disp` helpers. The prose format survives in ADR-0016 §5 + git history for a future OOS-7 always-prose setting. **Tests:** the prose-presence unit test + its snapshot removed; a new unit test asserts `render_structure` on a description carrying **both** inbound and outbound relationships emits the box but no prose; the misnamed `add_relationship_flow_shows_inbound_section_on_parent` integration test (which sent an `AddColumn`) inverted + renamed to assert the add-column echo omits the prose; the diagram tests (`show table`, `add relationship`) unaffected. **2458 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean**. `requirements.md` unaffected (ADR-tracked refinement of a decided area, like ADR-0044 itself)

Repurposes the bottom status line into a **keystrokes-only, state-selected** strip (builds on ADR-0046 nav focus, ADR-0003 modes, ADR-0049 the #29 readline keys it now advertises, ADR-0022 the completion memo). A pure `status_bar_bindings(app) -> Vec<(key,label)>` chooses the strip by **priority, first match wins**: (1) **sidebar focus**`Ctrl-O next pane · ↑↓/PgUp/PgDn scroll · Esc input`; (2) **completion memo live** (`last_completion`) → `Tab/Shift-Tab cycle · Esc cancel · Enter run`; (3) **history navigation** (new `App::is_browsing_history()` exposing the private `history_cursor`) → `↑↓ browse · Esc clear · Enter run`; (4) **editing** (input non-empty) → `Esc clear · Ctrl-A/E home/end · Ctrl-W del word · Enter run` (surfaces the #29 keys, closing ADR-0049's deferred advertisement); (5) **default** (empty) → `Ctrl-O sidebar · Tab complete · ↑ history · Enter run`. Priority is correct because Up clears the completion memo and Tab cancels history nav, so states 2/3 never co-occur, and the five are exhaustive for Input focus. **Typed-command words leave the strip** (`mode advanced`/`mode simple` switch, `:` one-shot) and **mode discovery moves to the empty-input hint** (`resolve_hint_lines`), **simple mode only**: `\`mode advanced\` for SQL` (the verb "type" omitted — the prompt implies it; advanced mode shows **no** pointer per a post-trial user decision — a switcher knows how they got there and `help` covers the way back). The one-shot's old `Backspace cancel one-shot` label is subsumed by the editing state (behaviour intact). Forks all user-chosen: **editing state shows the #29 keys** (vs unadvertised); **`Ctrl-C quit` omitted** from the strip (vs always shown); **no width-drop machinery** — the longest strip (~65 cols) fits all supported widths, so a **width-budget unit test** keeps it lean by construction instead (the user's own observation). Catalog: 12 new `shortcut.*` labels + the `panel.hint_mode_advanced` string added to `en-US.yaml`+`keys.rs` (validator-checked 1:1), 5 now-dead strip strings removed. **Modal-aware strip is OOS** (pre-existing: a modal owns the keyboard and carries its own hints; the strip under it is unchanged-in-kind, not worsened). Tests: 9 Tier-1 unit (per-state key sets — completion/history driven through real key events; width budget; mode-pointer presence/absence), 1 Tier-3 rewritten (`status_bar_is_keystroke_only_and_state_aware`), 15 full-panel snapshots re-accepted (reviewed — strip/hint only). **2467 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean.** OOS: modal-aware strip; a full-key cheatsheet overlay; Ctrl-K/U advertisement (editing strip shows the highest-value subset within the width budget)

So **success journaling moved up** to `spawn_dsl_dispatch` / `run_replay` / the app-command sites (next to the failure path), the worker's `finalize_persistence` now writes only yaml/csv, and the journal write became **best-effort** (the command is already committed — consistent with the failure path; a rare disk-full leaves a committed command unjournalled, state intact). **App commands** journal simple (dispatched outside the spawn) and `submit` excludes them from the ring's advanced flag, so `undo`/`mode advanced` recall bare. Forks user-chosen: status-tag format (vs 4th field / `:`-in-source); unified scope; **dispatch-layer best-effort journaling** (vs worker-coupled-fatal). Two `/runda` passes (the second drove the relocation + app-command exclusion). Tests: the 15 worker-level journaling tests retired (worker no longer journals — yaml/csv/operation checks kept), re-covered at the new layer (history.rs status-tag + `:`-reconstruct; app.rs recall matrix; the #30 cross-session regression in `iteration6`; replay tests cover `run_replay` journaling). **2471 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip (1 ignored), clippy clean.** replay re-journaling mode-fidelity (a replayed advanced line re-journals simple — not a regression). **Follow-up done 2026-06-14:** the vestigial worker `source` plumbing was fully unwound (compiler-guided, no behaviour change) — `_source` removed from `finalize_persistence`/`do_rebuild_from_text`, the three `*_request` wrappers inlined+deleted, the dead `source` param dropped from the ~30 forwarding worker handlers, and the `source` field removed from the `DescribeTable`/`QueryData`/`RunSelect` requests + their `DatabaseHandle` methods (~164 mostly-test call sites); the only worker `source` left is the snapshot/undo label (see ADR-0052 *Consequences*)
